[Intro]
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade

[Verse 1]
Where have all the good men gone?
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (Larger than life)
[Refrain]
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade

[Verse 2]
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder, rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman
To sweep me off my feet

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (Larger than life)

[Bridge]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere, watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach like the fire in my blood
[Refrain]
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)
Tu-dun tadadun ta-da-dun kade (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

[Chorus]
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life (Larger than life)
